Thanks to a Jayson Werth pinch-hit 3 run home run and an RBI double by Jimmy Rollins the Phillies came back from 4 runs down to beat the Washington Nationals 7-6. Shane Victorino, the "Flying Hawaiian", played for the first time since September 10th and went 1-4.
Kyle Lohse lasted only two innings for the Phillies but the bullpen, yes, I said the bullpen, pitched 7 scoreless innings. Brett Myers picked up his 18th save of the season while JC Romero picked up his first win of the season.
The much scrutinized Adam Eaton is scheduled to start tomorrow for the Phillies against Nationals pitcher Shawn Hill. Assuming the Mets lose again tomorrow to the Marlins, the Phillies could climb within .5 games of leading the NL East.
The Mets blew two three-run leads, stranded eight runners and wasted an opportunity to keep the Phillies at bay. The Mets have lost 3 of their last 4 against the Marlins and are only 3-7 in their last 10 games.
